How do I delete student assignment submissions?

[cagraham]

A student submitted the wrong assignment. How do I delete it so she can submit the correct assignment?

Here's an idea that I brought over from the old Canvas Community that you might want to consider bookmarking so that you can vote on it in May:

Hope this helps!!!

While I understand that Canvas wants to keep a record of everything submitted to an assignment, I have to admit I'd love the ability to delete and/or move incorrectly submitted assignments! I'll definitely be voting for this!

In addition, I have found that you cannot unpublish an assignment in modules if there are any student submissions. So if I test an assignment submission and then decide to unpublish the assignment in modules, it will not allow me to unpublish.

I've been bumping into this. Since I cannot always unpublish an assignment with submissions, I have discovered that I can edit the availability date to another time. My scenario is leaving the assignments for the marking period open from the get-go. However, students don't read carefully and their assignment 1 gets submitted in their assignment 2, etc. I've been commenting on the incorrect submissions (just to leave a message in a bottle for the student and me should I wonder what happened at a later date) then I went and adjusted the assignment availability date/time stamp to keep others out until they need to be able to access the tools. I've made a change to the way I manage my Grades area which I think will be helpful for everyone.

It's not clear from responses so far:  So it's impossible to delete a student assignment submission?
